I have never poured scorn on anyone on this Forum.


There are always people cleverer than me as I lose track of new technology.


Being now unemployed / retired I like to share what knowledge I have .


I have just offered my advice.


This might not always of been a solution to a problem.


But maintainance is always a sequence of proceedures to narrow down options to a final solution to a problem.


Maintainance was always the bug bear of telecoms companys because it did not produce a profit.


Contruction engingeers installing new systems made money/profit.


people do not like paying for things that should already be working..


so many things can be fixed by individuals for free with just a little help.


It does not cost anything to fix most problems, only a persons time.


Sometimes this time is invaluable and justified and I am not saying that these people


do not deserve what they charge.


It is like anything. If you need a builder or a plumber, then you have to pay.



But building , plumbing , electrical installation requires quallifications and


computer maintenance does not. so anyone can learn.

You have to be aware and adhere to many regulaitions reguarding


Water Pressure.


Water Feeds and flow Non return valves..


Drainage


Soil pipes.


Earth Bonding. Requires electrical qualification.


There are as many regs for plumbing as there are for electrical work.


Each water Authority seems to have there own rules.

    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.
